condition. Inspect accessory prior to
use to ensure that it contains no cracks.
CAUTION: Inspect anvils, detent pins,
and hog rings prior to use. Missing or
damaged items should be replaced
before use.
Place the switch in the locked off (center) position or
remove battery pack before changing accessories.
ANVIL WITH DETENT PIN (FIG. 2)
DCF899
To install an accessory on the anvil, align the hole in
the side of the accessory with the detent pin (h) on
the anvil (c). Press the accessory on until the detent
pin engages in the hole. Depression of detent pin
may be necessary to aid installation of accessory.
To remove an accessory, depress the detent pin
through the hole and pull the accessory off.
ANVIL WITH HOG RING (FIG. 2)

To remove an accessory, grasp the accessory and
firmly pull it off.
Usage
Your impact tool can generate the following
maximum torque:
Cat # Nm
DCF899, DCF899H 950
WARNING: Ensure fastener and/
or system will withstand the level
of torque generated by the tool.
Excessive torque may cause
breakage and possible personal
injury.
1. Place the accessory on the fastener head. Keep
the tool pointed straight at the fastener.
2. Press switch to start operation. Release switch
to stop operation. Always check torque with
a torque wrench, as the fastening torque is
affected by many factors including the following:
• Voltage: Low voltage, due to a nearly
discharged battery, will reduce fastening
torque.
• Accessory size: Failure to use the correct
accessory size will cause a reduction in
fastening torque.
• Bolt size: Larger bolt diameters generally
require higher fastening torque. Fastening

torque will also vary according to length,
grade, and torque coefficient.
• Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust
and other debris to allow proper fastening
torque.
• Material: The type of material and surface
finish of the material will affect fastening
torque.
• Fastening time: Longer fasten ing time
results in increased fastening torque.
Using a longer fastening time than recom-
mended could cause the fasteners to be
overstressed, stripped or damaged.

Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of
the main housing with dry air as often as
dirt is seen collecting in and around the
air vents. Wear approved eye protection
and approved dust mask when
performing this procedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or
other harsh chemicals for cleaning the
non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials
used in these parts. Use a cloth
